Not being a professional student of the supreme court, I will plead ignorance on your statement of "the supreme court can't reverse a past decision". If the facts come to light, that a decision was based on improper arguments, or outright falsehood, it stands to reason, that a decision must be able to be reversed else what does the court stand for? Rhetorical question, not designed to bring out humorous comments vis-a-vis the court.

[Arthur McGowan]

The Supreme Court, precisely because it is a court, cannot act on its own initiative. What I meant was that the Court could not, tomorrow, simply announce that it wants to reverse a past decision. Neither would it ever announce how it is going to decide some future case--because how would you like to go before a judge who had already announced that he knew how he wanted your case to come out? What the Court CAN do is accept some future abortion case, and decide that case on the basis of the principle that there is no right to kill babies in the womb.
